I found the messages criticizing her very inappropriate, and it is hard to believe that they are coming from a helpful, supportive stance. I am sorry.
She is in the same boat as a lot of us, and many of us value her support. I know due to my low functioning, most of the contact with other humans I make is online or when my Dad comes to see me. I don't know her specific life situation, but maybe it helps her not go crazy to keep contact on this forum. I know things like this help me.
Many times I don't just want 'support' and overlook it when it is offered. So? She is a retired psychiatric nurse and she is trained to recognize that it cannot help everyone, but all she can do is try, she knows it cannot help everyone, that is not the point. If it helps anyone it makes it worthwhile. She is also not 'on the job' so it isn't even her duty to help you. Some of us are thankful that she IS here. If a SHORT supportive message is unhelpful to you. You are a click away. A SINGLE CLICK, to make it to another post. I have significantly detrimental problems with focus and I know that this is not very taxing on the head.
Wilyee if you do not want her conacting you, tell her discreetly, it is very demeaning to say this in front of a whole forum of people. It is like you are trying to humiliate her. I know I would be humiliated.
She is primarily interested in what other people have to say, is it a crime to bounce back with some support?
IT KEEPS SOME OF US POSTING AND NOT GIVING UP.
